How to Apply

Volunteering happens all year round, come rain or shine. During our opening season, we welcome guests in on Saturday and Sundays. Besides those times there is still a lot to do, from helping with evening or weekday events such as school visits or private tours, to completing engineering or site works we can’t do when open.

To apply as a volunteer, please follow the link below to our Contact page, where you can call us, email us, or even fill out our online contact form and enquire about volunteering. We are so excited to have anyone that wishes to be a part of our lovely team, and we hope to welcome you in shortly.
